the sun cannot shine upon it, and cover IL

but let it remain in the salt until you take

Professional sheep growers seldom turn
sheep into "A yard with other stock They
have learned by experience that it does
not pay. In the case of high priced
blooded stock ii has sometimes been
pretty dear experience.
The farmer who keeps but few sheep
and has never made special study of the
business cannot do better than to- follow
the example of those who have; yet We
notice that il il the almost inVariable Gus
tom with such farmers to allow their
sheep To take their chances among the
mixed stock Of the common yard
In most cases they are Obliged To- get
their living from the straw stack, ca rickS
of hay around which vicious horned cattle
hold sway. Many of the more timid of
the flock will go hungry before they will
jeopardiZe themselves by crowtiing them
selves i'll to get u small share of the com
mon ratiOns.
Unless u sheep is killed outright, the
owner is seldom aware of an injury when
il occurs. 1t L. u matter of great wonder
to him, however, that he has no more
lambs from many ewes. Looking at
the matter understandingly il il Il greater
wonder that he has any, or that half his
ewes remain alive.
1t costs but little to have an extra yard
for the sheep opening off their own pen
or house. \ few feet of lumber and few
hours time can be Well expended here.
The man who makes proper provision for
his sheep in this way is not the man who
says: There aim no profit i'll sheep, any
way. | just keep IL few to eat up the odds
and ends, IA farmer remarked to the
writer only few days ago--Indiana

How To Eat Grapes,

Millions Of people in grape-rai-ing
countries, SAYS the Boston Hera1, cat
grapes as they ought to be eaten. viz:
without chewing, or skiuning, o. seed
ing. or anv nonsense whatever. But
thousands Of people have been taught
some to pinch the pulp into the mouth
disregar ding the skin, others % dis
sect both the seeds and the skin,
thus taking great deal Of pains to
prevent the grape from being as whole
some as it is delicious. BY far the
most agreeable and satisfactory
way to eat grapes, once accustomed to
it, is to "bolt' them about as fast as
they can be comfortably swallowed.
pressing the grape between the teeth
50 as to open up the pulp sufficiently
to give us all the flavor and to lubri
cate the bolus. A little practice will
enable any one to eat them thus, aud
it is then the most agreeable, as 1t
is the only wholesome way. 1t is want
of bulk that makes our food indigest-
bic in many cases. 1t is obvious that
there is a double advantage if this
theory be the correct one. for one
pound of grapes would go as far
as two pounds eaten the other
way.

How TO Save Garden Seeds.

Peas and beans should be left on the
vines until the pods are well wrinkled,
When they should be picked and spread
until they are quite dry. Small quaint
tiles NAV be shelled by hand, large
crops are threshed with fail. Keep
them in dry place.
Melon, cucumber, squash and pump
kin seeds should be taken only from
ripe, perfect-shaped specimens. In a
small way the seeds may be simply
taken out, spread on plates or tins and
dried. Larger quantities have to be
washed before drying. to remove the
slime that adheres. to them. When
the seeds are thoroughly dried, tie
them in bags. ard keep in dry place
secure from mice and rats.
Beets, paisnips, turnips, carrots,
caulifower and cabbage will not pro-
duce seed until the second year. Set
out in early May, strong, well-matured
plants of last seasons crop. When
the seed is ripe, cut the stalks and put
under cover to dry; then beat out the
seeds. and tie in paper bags.
Seeds of all kinds should be fully
ripe when gathered, but it is also i'm
portant to harvest them as soon as
they are ripe. For keeping small
quantities Of seeds, paper bags are
preferable to cloth. they afford better
protection against moisture and insects.
Always mark each package with the
name OF the seed contained in it, and
the year in which it grew. Cold does
not injure the vitality OF seeds,
but moisture is detrimental to all kinds.

Take Care of Your Eyes.

Keep a shade on your lamp or gas
burner
Never read by twilight, moonlight,
or on cloudy days.
Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Never read or sew directly in front
Of the light of window or door.
1t is best to let the light fall from
above obliquely over the left shout
der.
Do not use the eyesight BY light so
scant that it requires an effort TO dis
criminate.
Never sleep so that on first awaking
the eyes shall open on the light ola
window.
Never begin TO read, write or sew
for several minutes after coming from
darkness 10 light.
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub your eyes that mo-
ment stop using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up do not forcibly open them,
but apply saliva with the finger; it is
the speediest dilutant in the world
then wash your eyes and face in warm
water.

A young woman physician who prac

case in surgery which she heard of few
weeks ago, or rather case of most unus
ual surgical treatment for common
injury. a young man had suffered fall
from the cars, and on examination il was
found that two of his ribs had been bro
ken. The doctor who was called 10 Tie
Casa man doctor, 10y the way-told
the patients mother TO make biz
bowl of mush and milk. and to coaN
the wounded man TO eat rs much of it as he
could possibly hold This was done, and
then the doctor told the wonderful mother
to bring him one of her old corSets, the
largest one she had. The good woman
blushingly obeyed, and stood by with
bulging eyes and watched the doctor put
the corset on his patient and draw the
strings comfortably tight. Keep the
boy filled with mush and milk all
night, If possible was the doctors
injunction, as he packed up his trap,
TO 20 away, "and be sure that the corset
strings don't get any looser than they are
now. III come again in the morning.
The next day the ingenius medical man
declared that the broken ribs would soon
be knitted well together again, and that
they were growing as nice and straight a.

inside and thel corset on the outside is
what did the business, he said.
